Some news

After a year long blogging break, being somewhat active on Twitter, G+ and Facebook
with different kind of audience, I feel the motivation to write a little
bit about myself and what has changed since then.

As said, I did a second summer in the Alps milking cows and making cheese
and started at the
HES Pathway which opens us (engineers with a HES bachelor (or equivalent))
the door of the EPFL
master. I choosed it over the one from the HES-SO and University BeNeFri because it
seemed more mature and to have a higher value at the time. Switzerland has
three different levels for doing a master in Computer Science, I just picked
the higher one. It’s more that I like challenges that I do think it makes
any differences in the end.

It was taugh, very hard to jump from the mountains to sitting and taking
notes all week long. I learned new stuff, old stuff again (totally worth it)
and get to know how universities are working around here. It’s very different
from the HES’ where I come from.

Everything went well, not perfectly well but well enough. It means I’ll
start the Master (aka the real thing) this fall for at least one year and
a half of (hard) work.

In the meantime, I worked again for QoQa but was forced to realize that it’s not fully
compatible with full-time studies. Accepting on-going contract won’t do it.

On the disconnected side of the life, I’m now a J+S Ski instructor (the basic level) and did two ski camps
with teenagers from Neuchâtel and La Chaux-de-Fonds last winter. As I love
to say, I’m now addicted to the mountains and every time spent up there bring
some inner peace.

Let’s hope, I’ll go back at blogging regularly. There are some subjects I’d
like to talk about besides “me, myself and I”.
